As described in 1 Enoch, these are the leaders of 200 angels that are turned into fallen Angels due to their taking wives, mating with human women, and teaching forbidden knowledge. One of 20 leaders, Ramiel is mentioned sixth.

In this same work, Ramiel is also the name of an angel, and is described as "one of the holy angels whom God has set over those who rise" from the dead, in effect the angel that watches over those that are to resurrect.

He is mentioned also in 2 Baruch where he presides over true visions (55:3).

Ramiel is the angel of hope, and he is credited with two tasks: he is responsible for divine visions, and he guides the souls of the faithful into Heaven, he is called Jeremiel or Uriel in various translations of IV Esdras, He is said to have been the archangel responsible for the destruction of the armies of Sennacherib, as well as being the bearer of the instructions of the seven archangels.[citation needed]

Angel (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
–
This is a list of characters in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and the movies Evangelion, Death & Rebirth, The End of Evangelion and the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy. The characters were designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, to some viewers, the characters are psychological representations, while to others, they are philosophical, religious, historical, and even themselves. Anno was influenced by Ryu Murakamis political economy novel The Fascism of Love and Fantasy, and the names Toji Suzuhara, Kensuke Aida, many of the surnames of the characters in Evangelion are named after Japanese warships in World War II. Most of Evangelions characters ages were plotted before broadcasting the TV series, after the TV series finished, GAINAX released birthdays which were similar to those of each characters voice actors, except Rei Ayanami, Toji Suzuhara, Kensuke Aida and Kaworu Nagisa. This time, the birth years were still unrevealed. Adult characters birth years were calculated from their age. According to the Japanese educational system, in 2015 second graders of high school are basically made up of children who were born from April 2,2001 to April 1,2002. Childrens birth years were set in proportion to this rule, however these birth years did not change the childrens ages of 14 in year 2015. This is the reason why Asuka Langley Soryu and Toji Suzuhara were born in December 2001 and Hikari Horaki was born in February 2002, in the Japanese dialogue for the original anime, the Eva pilots were always referred to as Children, even when referring to an individual pilot. The English translation referred to the pilots as First Child. In the Rebuild of Evangelion series, the expression th Children is not used, instead, the pilots are referred to as Ichibanme no tekikakusha Dai Ichi no Shōjo, Sanninme no kodomo, or Dai San no Shōnen. Voiced by, Megumi Ogata, Spike Spencer Shinji Ikari is the Third Child and he is the son of Gendo and the late Yui Ikari. Abandoned by his father when he was a toddler, Shinji has grown up to be reclusive and withdrawn and he suffers from social anxiety at the beginning of the series, but is gradually freed from this as he socializes with his new classmates and fellow pilots. Over time and with encouragement from Misato, he learns to be cowardly, more outspoken, and more confident. At some point in the series he begins to confront his self, forming arguments and questions about life. He becomes friends with Toji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida, in addition to his relationships with Rei. Voiced by, Megumi Hayashibara, Amanda Winn-Lee, Brina Palencia Rei Ayanami is the First Child, at the start of the series, she is shown to be socially withdrawn, seemingly emotionless, and remote, with her only apparent relationship being with Gendo Ikari. As the series progresses, she and Shinji grow closer, soulless clones of her are kept hidden in the deepest levels of NERV headquarters to be used as the supposed cores of the Dummy Plugs and as replacement bodies for Rei if she should die

Aramaic language
–
Aramaic is a language or group of languages belonging to the Semitic subfamily of the Afroasiatic language family. More specifically, it is part of the Northwest Semitic group, the Aramaic alphabet was widely adopted for other languages and is ancestral to the Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic alphabets. During its approximately 3000 years of history, Aramaic has served variously as a language of administration of empires, therefore, there is not one singular, static Aramaic language, each time and place rather has had its own variation. The Aramaic languages are now considered endangered, Aram is used as a proper name of several people in the Torah including descendants of Shem, Nahor, and Jacob. Ancient Aram, bordering northern Israel and now called Syria, is considered the epicenter of Aramaic. The language is often considered to have originated within Assyria. Interestingly, the Christian New Testament, for which the constituent texts are written in Koine Greek. The Hellenized Jewish community of Alexandria instead translated Aramaic to the Syrian tongue, a related language, Mlahsô, has recently become extinct. Mandaeans living in the Khuzestan Province of Iran and scattered throughout Iraq and it is quite distinct from any other Aramaic variety. Central Neo-Aramaic consists of Turoyo and the recently extinct Mlahsô, very little remains of Western Aramaic. All these speakers of Modern Western Aramaic are fluent in Arabic, Jewish Palestinian Aramaic and Samaritan Aramaic are preserved in liturgical and literary usage. Each dialect of Aramaic has its own pronunciation, and it would not be feasible here to go into all these properties. Aramaic has a palette of 25 to 40 distinct phonemes. The open vowel is an open near-front unrounded vowel and it usually has a back counterpart, and a front counterpart. There is much correspondence between these vowels between dialects, there is some evidence that Middle Babylonian dialects did not distinguish between the short a and short e. In West Syriac dialects, and possibly Middle Galilean, the long a became the o sound, the open e and back a are often indicated in writing by the use of the letters א alaph or ה he. The close front vowel is the long i and it has a slightly more open counterpart, the long e, as in the final vowel of café. Both of these have shorter counterparts, which tend to be pronounced more open

Hebrew language
–
Hebrew is a language native to Israel, spoken by over 9 million people worldwide, of whom over 5 million are in Israel. Historically, it is regarded as the language of the Israelites and their ancestors, the earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date from the 10th century BCE. Hebrew belongs to the West Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic language family, Hebrew is the only living Canaanite language left, and the only truly successful example of a revived dead language. Hebrew had ceased to be a spoken language somewhere between 200 and 400 CE, declining since the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt. Aramaic and to a lesser extent Greek were already in use as international languages, especially among elites and it survived into the medieval period as the language of Jewish liturgy, rabbinic literature, intra-Jewish commerce, and poetry. Then, in the 19th century, it was revived as a spoken and literary language, and, according to Ethnologue, had become, as of 1998, the language of 5 million people worldwide. After Israel, the United States has the second largest Hebrew-speaking population, with 220,000 fluent speakers, Modern Hebrew is one of the two official languages of the State of Israel, while premodern Hebrew is used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world today. Ancient Hebrew is also the tongue of the Samaritans, while modern Hebrew or Arabic is their vernacular. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews as Leshon Hakodesh, the modern word Hebrew is derived from the word Ivri, one of several names for the Israelite people. It is traditionally understood to be a based on the name of Abrahams ancestor, Eber. This name is based upon the root ʕ-b-r meaning to cross over. Interpretations of the term ʕibrim link it to this verb, cross over, in the Bible, the Hebrew language is called Yәhudit because Judah was the surviving kingdom at the time of the quotation. In Isaiah 19,18 it is called the Language of Canaan, Hebrew belongs to the Canaanite group of languages. In turn, the Canaanite languages are a branch of the Northwest Semitic family of languages, according to Avraham ben-Yosef, Hebrew flourished as a spoken language in the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah during about 1200 to 586 BCE. Scholars debate the degree to which Hebrew was a vernacular in ancient times following the Babylonian exile. In July 2008 Israeli archaeologist Yossi Garfinkel discovered a ceramic shard at Khirbet Qeiyafa which he claimed may be the earliest Hebrew writing yet discovered, dating around 3000 years ago. The Gezer calendar also dates back to the 10th century BCE at the beginning of the Monarchic Period, classified as Archaic Biblical Hebrew, the calendar presents a list of seasons and related agricultural activities. The Gezer calendar is written in an old Semitic script, akin to the Phoenician one that through the Greeks, the Gezer calendar is written without any vowels, and it does not use consonants to imply vowels even in the places where later Hebrew spelling requires it

Greek language
–
Greek is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece and other parts of the Eastern Mediterranean. It has the longest documented history of any living language, spanning 34 centuries of written records and its writing system has been the Greek alphabet for the major part of its history, other systems, such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary, were used previously. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, Coptic, Gothic and many other writing systems. Together with the Latin texts and traditions of the Roman world, during antiquity, Greek was a widely spoken lingua franca in the Mediterranean world and many places beyond. It would eventually become the official parlance of the Byzantine Empire, the language is spoken by at least 13.2 million people today in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Albania, Turkey, and the Greek diaspora. Greek roots are used to coin new words for other languages, Greek. Greek has been spoken in the Balkan peninsula since around the 3rd millennium BC, the earliest written evidence is a Linear B clay tablet found in Messenia that dates to between 1450 and 1350 BC, making Greek the worlds oldest recorded living language. Among the Indo-European languages, its date of earliest written attestation is matched only by the now extinct Anatolian languages, the Greek language is conventionally divided into the following periods, Proto-Greek, the unrecorded but assumed last ancestor of all known varieties of Greek. The unity of Proto-Greek would have ended as Hellenic migrants entered the Greek peninsula sometime in the Neolithic era or the Bronze Age, Mycenaean Greek, the language of the Mycenaean civilisation. It is recorded in the Linear B script on tablets dating from the 15th century BC onwards, Ancient Greek, in its various dialects, the language of the Archaic and Classical periods of the ancient Greek civilisation. It was widely known throughout the Roman Empire, after the Roman conquest of Greece, an unofficial bilingualism of Greek and Latin was established in the city of Rome and Koine Greek became a first or second language in the Roman Empire. The origin of Christianity can also be traced through Koine Greek, Medieval Greek, also known as Byzantine Greek, the continuation of Koine Greek in Byzantine Greece, up to the demise of the Byzantine Empire in the 15th century. Much of the written Greek that was used as the language of the Byzantine Empire was an eclectic middle-ground variety based on the tradition of written Koine. Modern Greek, Stemming from Medieval Greek, Modern Greek usages can be traced in the Byzantine period and it is the language used by the modern Greeks, and, apart from Standard Modern Greek, there are several dialects of it. In the modern era, the Greek language entered a state of diglossia, the historical unity and continuing identity between the various stages of the Greek language is often emphasised. Greek speakers today still tend to regard literary works of ancient Greek as part of their own rather than a foreign language and it is also often stated that the historical changes have been relatively slight compared with some other languages. According to one estimation, Homeric Greek is probably closer to demotic than 12-century Middle English is to modern spoken English, Greek is spoken by about 13 million people, mainly in Greece, Albania and Cyprus, but also worldwide by the large Greek diaspora. Greek is the language of Greece, where it is spoken by almost the entire population

Watcher (angel)
–
Watcher is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Watcher occurs in both plural and singular forms in the Book of Daniel, where reference is made to their holiness, the apocryphal Books of Enoch refer to both good and bad Watchers, with a primary focus on the rebellious ones. In the Book of Daniel 4,13,17,23 there are three references to the class of watcher, holy one, the term is introduced by Nebuchadnezzar who says he saw a watcher, a holy one come down from heaven. Lutheran Protestant reformer Johann Wigand viewed the watcher in Nebuchadnezzars dream as either God himself and he promoted Trinitarian thinking by linking verse 17 with verse 24. In the Books of Enoch, the first Book of Enoch devotes much of its attention to the fall of the Watchers, the Second Book of Enoch addresses the Watchers who are in fifth heaven where the fall took place. The Third Book of Enoch gives attention to the unfallen Watchers, the use of the term Watchers is common in the Book of Enoch. The Book of the Watchers occurs in the Aramaic fragments with the phrase irin we-qadishin, Watchers and Holy Ones, the Aramaic irin watchers is rendered as angel in the Greek and Ethiopian translations, although the usual Aramaic term for angel malakha does not occur in Aramaic Enoch. The dating of this section of 1 Enoch is around 2nd–1st century BC and this book is based on one interpretation of the Sons of God passage in Genesis 6, according to which angels married with human females, giving rise to a race of hybrids known as the Nephilim. In the Book of Enoch, the Watchers are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans and they soon begin to lust for human women and, at the prodding of their leader Samyaza, defect en masse to illicitly instruct humanity and procreate among them. The offspring of these unions are the Nephilim, savage giants who pillage the earth, eventually God allows a Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim, but first sends Uriel to warn Noah so as not to eradicate the human race. The Watchers are bound in the valleys of the Earth until Judgment Day, the chiefs of tens, listed in the Book of Enoch, are as follows,7. These are their chiefs of tens, the book of Enoch also lists leaders of the 200 fallen angels who married and commenced in unnatural union with human women, and who taught forbidden knowledge. Some are also listed in Book of Raziel, the Zohar, araqiel taught humans the signs of the earth. Armaros in Enoch I taught men the resolving of enchantments, Azazel taught men to make knives, swords, shields, and how to devise ornaments and cosmetics. Gadreel taught the art of cosmetics, the use of weapons, bezaliel mentioned in Enoch I, left out of most translations because of damaged manuscripts and problematic transmission of the text. Chazaqiel taught men the signs of the clouds, kokabiel, In the Book of Raziel he is a high-ranking, holy angel. In Enoch I, he is a fallen Watcher, resident of the nether realms, among other duties, he instructs his fellows in astrology. Penemue taught mankind the art of writing ink and paper, and taught the children of men the bitter and the sweet

Book of Enoch
–
It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church and it is wholly extant only in the Geez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. No Hebrew version is known to have survived and it is asserted in the book itself that its author was Enoch, before the Biblical Flood. The text was also utilised by the community that originally collected the Dead Sea Scrolls, the first part of the Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim. The remainder of the book describes Enochs visits to heaven in the form of travels, visions and dreams, and his revelations. By the 4th century, the Book of Enoch was mostly excluded from Christian canons, and it is now regarded as scripture by only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, compare this with Enoch 1,9, translated from the Ethiopic, And behold. Under the heading of canonicity, it is not enough to demonstrate that something is quoted. Instead, it is necessary to demonstrate the nature of the quotation. In the case of the Jude 1,14 quotation of 1 Enoch 1,9, it would be difficult to argue that Jude does not quote Enoch as an historical prophet since he cites Enoch by name. However, there remains a question as to whether the author of Jude attributed the quotation believing the source to be the historical Enoch before the flood or a midrash of Deut 33, certainly he did consider it authoritative, a true word from God. We cannot tell whether he ranked it alongside other books such as Isaiah and Jeremiah. What we do know is, first, that other Jewish groups, most notably those living in Qumran near the Dead Sea, also used and valued 1 Enoch, but we do not find it grouped with the scriptural scrolls. The attribution Enoch the Seventh from Adam is apparently itself a section heading taken from 1 Enoch, also, it has been alleged that 1 Peter, and 2 Peter make reference to some Enochian material. However, later Fathers denied the canonicity of the book, the traditional belief of the Ethiopic Orthodox Church, which sees 1 Enoch as an inspired document, is that the Ethiopic text is the original one, written by Enoch himself. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not consider 1 Enoch to be part of its standard canon, the most extensive witnesses to the Book of Enoch exist in the Geez language.

Thunder
–
Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the distance and nature of the lightning, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, the sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a shock wave, similar to a sonic boom. The cause of thunder has been the subject of centuries of speculation, the first recorded theory is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle in the fourth century BC, and an early speculation was that it was caused by the collision of clouds. Subsequently, numerous theories were proposed. By the mid-19th century, the theory was that lightning produced a vacuum. In the 20th century a consensus evolved that thunder must begin with a wave in the air due to the sudden thermal expansion of the plasma in the lightning channel. The average is about 20,400 K and this heating causes a rapid outward expansion, impacting the surrounding cooler air at a speed faster than sound would otherwise travel. The resultant outward-moving pulse is a wave, similar in principle to the shock wave formed by an explosion. Experimental studies of simulated lightning have produced results consistent with this model. Other causes have also proposed, relying on electrodynamic effects of the massive current acting on the plasma in the bolt of lightning. The shockwave in thunder is sufficient to cause injury, such as internal contusion, inversion thunder results when lightning strikes between cloud and ground occur during a temperature inversion. In such an inversion, the air near the ground is cooler than the higher air, the sound energy is prevented from dispersing vertically as it would in a non-inversion and is thus concentrated in the near-ground layer. Inversions often occur when warm moist air passes above a cold front, the d in Modern English thunder is epenthetic, and is now found as well in Modern Dutch donder. In Latin the term was tonare to thunder, the name of the Germanic god Thor comes from the Old Norse word for thunder. The shared Proto-Indo-European root is *tón-r̥ or *tar-, also found Gaulish Taranis, a flash of lightning, followed after some time by a rumble of thunder, illustrates the fact that sound travels significantly slower than light. Using this difference, one can estimate how far away the bolt of lightning is by timing the interval between seeing the flash and hearing thunder, the speed of sound in dry air is approximately 343 m/s or 1,127 ft/s or 768 mph at 20 °C. This translates to approximately 5 seconds per mile, the speed of light is high enough that it can be taken as infinite in this calculation because of the relatively small distance involved

God
–
In monotheism, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by most theologians includes the attributes of omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, divine simplicity, many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent and all loving. Furthermore, some religions attribute only a purely grammatical gender to God, incorporeity and corporeity of God are related to conceptions of transcendence and immanence of God, with positions of synthesis such as the immanent transcendence of Chinese theology. God has been conceived as personal or impersonal. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the creator, in pantheism, God is the universe itself. In atheism, God is not believed to exist, while God is deemed unknown or unknowable within the context of agnosticism, God has also been conceived as the source of all moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent. Many notable philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God, there are many names for God, and different names are attached to different cultural ideas about Gods identity and attributes. In the ancient Egyptian era of Atenism, possibly the earliest recorded monotheistic religion, this deity was called Aten, premised on being the one true Supreme Being and creator of the universe. In the Hebrew Bible and Judaism, He Who Is, I Am that I Am, in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, God, consubstantial in three persons, is called the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Judaism, it is common to refer to God by the titular names Elohim or Adonai, in Islam, the name Allah is used, while Muslims also have a multitude of titular names for God. In Hinduism, Brahman is often considered a concept of God. In Chinese religion, God is conceived as the progenitor of the universe, intrinsic to it, other religions have names for God, for instance, Baha in the Baháí Faith, Waheguru in Sikhism, and Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism. The earliest written form of the Germanic word God comes from the 6th-century Christian Codex Argenteus, the English word itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic * ǥuđan. The reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form * ǵhu-tó-m was likely based on the root * ǵhau-, in the English language, the capitalized form of God continues to represent a distinction between monotheistic God and gods in polytheism. The same holds for Hebrew El, but in Judaism, God is also given a proper name, in many translations of the Bible, when the word LORD is in all capitals, it signifies that the word represents the tetragrammaton. Allāh is the Arabic term with no plural used by Muslims and Arabic speaking Christians and Jews meaning The God, Ahura Mazda is the name for God used in Zoroastrianism. Mazda, or rather the Avestan stem-form Mazdā-, nominative Mazdå and it is generally taken to be the proper name of the spirit, and like its Sanskrit cognate medhā, means intelligence or wisdom. Both the Avestan and Sanskrit words reflect Proto-Indo-Iranian *mazdhā-, from Proto-Indo-European mn̩sdʰeh1, literally meaning placing ones mind, Waheguru is a term most often used in Sikhism to refer to God

Asahel
–
Asahel was the youngest son of Zeruiah, step-daughter of Jesse, daughter of Nahash. The name means made by God, Asahel was the nephew of King David, as well as the younger brother of both Joab, Davids general, and of Abishai. Asahel is mentioned in 2 Samuel Chapters 2 and 3, additionally, the name Asahel appears in Aramaic in the Book of Enoch. The name is made up of two parts, the verb עשה, Hebrew to do, make 3rd m. sg. perfect, and the element, אל. This would make it a name of thanksgiving, thanking God for what he has made or done, Asahel was the youngest son of Zeruiah, Davids sister. His older brothers were Joab and Abishai and he was known for his swiftness of foot, Asahel was swift of foot, like a gazelle in the open field. And was told if he was running through wheat field. He was put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the battlefield when fighting against Abner at Gibeon and he is considered among Davids thirty valiant men. After a battle at Gibeon between Abner, commanding the army of Ish-bosheth son of Saul and Joab, commanding the army of David, young Asahel soon caught up with Abner. Abner begged Asahel to stop pursuing him, but when Asahel refused to desist, Abner thrust the blunt end of a spear through Asahels stomach, although Joab won the battle, Abner escaped with his life, Asahel was buried in his fathers tomb at Bethlehem. In retaliation, Joab murdered Abner with help from his brother Abishai, against the wishes of David

Angel
–
An angel, especially according to Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, is a spiritual being superior to humans in power and intelligence. Most of them either as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits. They are studied in the doctrine of angelology. In Christian Science, the angel is used to refer to an inspiration from God. In fine art, angels are depicted as having the shape of human beings of extraordinary beauty, they are often identified using the symbols of bird wings, halos. The word angel in English is a blend of Old English engel, both derive from Late Latin angelus messenger, which in turn was borrowed from Late Greek ἄγγελος ángelos. According to R. S. P. Beekes, ángelos itself may be an Oriental loan, the words earliest form is Mycenaean a-ke-ro attested in Linear B syllabic script. The ángelos is the default Septuagints translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh denoting simply messenger without specifying its nature. In the Latin Vulgate, however, the meaning becomes bifurcated, if the word refers to some supernatural being, the word angelus appears. Such differentiation has been taken over by later vernacular translations of the Bible, early Christian and Jewish exegetes, in Zoroastrianism there are different angel-like figures. For example, each person has one guardian angel, called Fravashi and they patronize human beings and other creatures, and also manifest Gods energy. In the commentaries of Proclus on the Timaeus of Plato, Proclus uses the terminology of angelic, according to Aristotle, just as there is a First Mover, so, too, must there be spiritual secondary movers. The Torah uses the terms מלאך אלהים, מלאך יהוה, בני אלהים and הקודשים to refer to beings traditionally interpreted as angels, later texts use other terms, such as העליונים. The term מלאך is also used in books of the Tanakh. Depending on the context, the Hebrew word may refer to a messenger or to a supernatural messenger. Daniel is the first biblical figure to refer to individual angels by name, mentioning Gabriel in Daniel 9,21 and these angels are part of Daniels apocalyptic visions and are an important part of all apocalyptic literature. One of these is hāšāṭān, a figure depicted in the Book of Job, philo of Alexandria identifies the angel with the Logos inasmuch as the angel is the immaterial voice of God. The angel is something different from God himself, but is conceived as Gods instrument, in post-Biblical Judaism, certain angels took on particular significance and developed unique personalities and roles

Fallen angel
–
A fallen angel is a wicked or rebellious angel that has been cast out of heaven. The term fallen angel does not appear in the Bible, but it is used of angels who sinned, of angels cast down to the earth in the War in Heaven, of Satan, demons, the term has become popular in fictional literature regarding angels. In the period preceding the composition of the New Testament, some sects of Judaism identified the sons of God of Genesis 6. Some scholars consider it most likely that this Jewish tradition of fallen angels predates, even in written form, lester L. Grabbe calls the story of the sexual intercourse of angels with women an old myth in Judaism. Indeed, until the mid-2nd century AD, Jewish writing can be taken to identify the sons of God of Gen 6,1 and 4 as angels, Rabbinic Judaism and Christian authorities rejected the tradition. Those who adopted the tradition viewed the sons of God as fallen angels who married human women and by unnatural union begot the Nephilim. The reference to heavenly beings called Watchers originates in Daniel 4, the Greek word for watchers is ἐγρήγοροι egrḗgoroi, pl. of egrḗgoros, literally wakeful. The Greek term was transcribed in the Jewish pseudepigraphon Second Book of Enoch as Grigori and these Watchers became enamored with human women, and had intercourse with them. The offspring of these unions, and the knowledge they were given, corrupted human beings, a number of apocryphal works, including 1 Enoch link this transgression with the Great Deluge. This fact was adopted by early Christianity, but abandoned by Rabbinic Judaism, during the period immediately before the rise of Christianity, the intercourse between these Watchers and human women was often seen as the first fall of the angels. The Slavonic Second Book of Enoch is problematic as evidence for Jewish belief as it has been heavily redacted by Christian transmission, the Grigori are identified with the Watchers of 1 Enoch. In The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Apocalypic Literature and Testaments edited by James H, and threw him out from the height with his angels, and he was flying in the air continuously above the bottomless. H. The Hebrew Bible personifies Satan, as Lucifer, as a character in three places, always inferior to Gods power, it portrays him as an accuser, a seducer. It uses the Hebrew word, which means adversary, elsewhere to speak of human opponents or some evil influence, in Christianity, Satan is often seen as the leader of the fallen angels. In Luke 10,18 Jesus says, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven, while the New Testament thus mentions Satan falling from Heaven, it never says that he was an angel, only that he masquerades as one, in 2 Corinthians 11,14. However, the concept of angels is not foreign to the New Testament, both 2 Peter 2,4 and Jude 1,6 refer to angels who have sinned against God. In the New Testament, Revelation 12, 3–14 speaks of a red dragon whose tail swept a third part of the stars of heaven. The fall of Lucifer finds its earliest identification with an angel in Origen, based on an interpretation of Isaiah 14, 1–17

Hope
–
Hope is an optimistic attitude of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in ones life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include, expect with confidence, among its opposites are dejection, hopelessness and despair. Dr. Barbara L. Fredrickson argues that hope comes into its own when crisis looms, Hopeful people are like the little engine that could, they keep telling themselves I think I can, I think I can. Such positive thinking bears fruit when based on a sense of optimism. Object relations theory sees the analytic transference as motivated in part by an unconscious hope that past conflicts. As specialist in positive psychology, Charles Richard Snyder studied how hope and forgiveness can impact several aspects of such as health, work, education. Snyder postulated that there are three things that make up hopeful thinking, Goals – Approaching life in a goal-oriented way. Pathways – Finding different ways to achieve your goals, agency – Believing that you can instigate change and achieve these goals. In other words, hope was defined as the capability to derive pathways to desired goals. Snyder proposed a Hope Scale which considered that a determination to achieve their goal is their measured hope. Snyder differentiates between adult-measured hope and child-measured hope, the Adult Hope Scale by Snyder contains 12 questions,4 measuring ‘pathways thinking’,4 measuring ‘agency thinking’, and 4 that are simply fillers. Each subject responds to each question using an 8-point scale, fibel and Hale measure hope by combining Snyders Hope Scale with their own Generalized Expectancy for Success Scale to empirically measure hope. Snyder regarded that psychotherapy can help focus attention on ones goals, Hope has the ability to help people heal faster and easier. Individuals who maintain hope, especially when battling illness, significantly enhance their chances of recovery and this is important because numerous people with chronic, physical, or mental illness believe that their condition is stable and that they have little chance of recovery. Shaping people’s beliefs and expectations to be hopeful and optimistic is an essential component of positive psychology. In general, people who possess hope and think optimistically have a sense of well being in addition to the improved health outcomes outlined above. Positive psychologists teach strategies to help boost people’s hope and optimism, of the countless models that examine the importance of hope in an individual’s life, there are two major theories that have gained a significant amount of recognition in the field of psychology. This model reasons that an ability to be hopeful depends on two types of thinking, agency thinking and pathway thinking

Heaven
–
According to the beliefs of some religions, heavenly beings can descend to earth or incarnate, and earthly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife, or in exceptional cases enter Heaven alive. Some believe in the possibility of a Heaven on Earth in a World to Come, another belief is in an axis mundi or world tree which connects the heavens, the terrestrial world, and the underworld. In Indian religions, Heaven is considered as Svarga loka, and this cycle can be broken after a soul achieves Moksha or Nirvana. Any place of existence, either of humans, souls or deities, the modern English word heaven is derived from the earlier heven, this in turn was developed from the previous Old English form heofon. By about 1000, heofon was being used in reference to the Christianized place where God dwells, all of these have been derived from a reconstructed Proto-Germanic form *Hemina-. In Ancient Egyptian religion, belief in an afterlife is much more stressed than in ancient Judaism, Heaven was a physical place far above the Earth in a dark area of space where there were no stars, basically beyond the Universe. Their heart would finally be weighed with the feather of truth, almost nothing is known of Bronze Age Canaanite views of Heaven, and the archeological findings at Ugarit have not provided information. The 1st century Greek author Philo of Byblos may preserve elements of Iron Age Phoenician religion in his Sanchuniathon, in the Middle Hittite myths, Heaven is the abode of the gods. In the Song of Kumarbi, Alalu was king in Heaven for nine years before giving birth to his son, Anu was himself overthrown by his son, Kumarbi. The Baháí Faith regards the description of Heaven as a specific place as symbolic. The Baháí writings describe Heaven as a condition where closeness to God is defined as Heaven. For Baháís, entry into the life has the potential to bring great joy. Baháulláh likened death to the process of birth and he explains, The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother. Accordingly, Baháís view life as a stage, where one can develop. The key to progress is to follow the path outlined by the current Manifestation of God. Baháulláh wrote, Know thou, of a truth, that if the soul of man hath walked in the ways of God, it will, assuredly return, in Buddhism there are several Heavens, all of which are still part of samsara. Those who accumulate good karma may be reborn in one of them, however, their stay in Heaven is not eternal—eventually they will use up their good karma and will undergo rebirth into another realm, as a human, animal or other being. Because Heaven is temporary and part of samsara, Buddhists focus more on escaping the cycle of rebirth, Nirvana is not a heaven but a mental state

Uriel
–
Uriel is one of the archangels of post-Exilic Rabbinic tradition, and also of certain Christian traditions. In apocryphal, kabbalistic and occult works, Uriel has been equated or confused with Urial, Nuriel, Uryan, Jeremiel, Vretil, Sariel, Suriel, Puruel, Phanuel, Jacob, the angels mentioned in the older books of the Hebrew Bible are without names. Indeed, rabbi Simeon ben Lakish of Tiberias, asserted that all the names for the angels were brought back by the Jews from Babylon. Raphael features prominently in the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit, the Book of Tobit is accepted as scriptural by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Oriental Orthodox Church. Where a fourth archangel is added to the three, to represent the four cardinal points, Uriel is generally the fourth. Uriel is listed as the angel in Christian Gnostics, by Gregory the Great. However, the Book of Enoch clearly distinguishes the two Angels, Uriel means the Light of God while Phanuel means the Face of God, Uriel is the third angel listed in the Testament of Solomon, the fourth being Sabrael. Uriel appears in the Second Book of Esdras found in the Biblical apocrypha in which the prophet Ezra asks God a series of questions, and Uriel is sent by God to instruct him. According to the Revelation of Esdras, the angels that will rule at the end of the world are Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Gabuthelon, Beburos, Zebuleon, Aker, and Arphugitonos. The last five listed only appear in book and nowhere else in apocryphal or apocalyptic works. In Christian apocryphal gospels Uriel plays a role, differing sources, in the rescue of Jesus cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. He carries John and his mother Saint Elizabeth to join the Holy Family after their Flight into Egypt and their reunion is depicted in Leonardo da Vincis Virgin of the Rocks. Uriel is often identified as a cherub and angel of repentance and he stands at the Gate of Eden with a fiery sword, or as the angel who watches over thunder and terror. In the Apocalypse of Peter he appears as the Angel of Repentance, in the Life of Adam and Eve, Uriel is regarded as the spirit of the third chapter of Genesis. He is also identified as one of the angels who helped bury Adam, stemming from medieval Jewish mystical traditions, Uriel has also become the Angel of Sunday, the Angel of Poetry, and one of the Holy Sephiroth. Uriel is depicted as the destroyer of the hosts of Sennacherib and he checked the doors of Egypt for lambs blood during the plague. He also holds the key to the Pit during the End Times and he is often depicted carrying a book or a papyrus scroll representing wisdom. Uriel is a patron of the Arts, in addition, every Monday throughout the year is dedicated to the angels

2 Esdras
–
2 Esdras is the name of an apocalyptic book in many English versions of the Bible. Its authorship is ascribed to Ezra and it is reckoned among the apocrypha by Roman Catholics, Protestants, and most Eastern Orthodox Christians. Although Second Esdras was preserved in Latin as an appendix to the Vulgate and passed down as a unified book, as with 1 Esdras, there is some confusion about the numbering of this book. The Vulgate of Jerome includes 1,2,3 and 4 Esdras. Protestant writers, after the Geneva Bible, called 1 and 2 Esdras of the Vulgate Ezra and Nehemiah and it appears in the Appendix to the Old Testament in the Slavonic Bible, where it is called 3 Esdras, and the Georgian Orthodox Bible numbers it 3 Ezra. This text is also known as Apocalypse of Ezra. The first two chapters of 2 Esdras are found only in the Latin version of the book, and are called 5 Ezra by scholars. They are considered by most scholars to be Christian in origin, they assert Gods rejection of the Jews and these are generally considered to be late additions to the work. Chapters 3–14, or the bulk of 2 Esdras, is a Jewish apocalypse also sometimes known as 4 Ezra. The latter name should not be confused with a work called the Greek Apocalypse of Ezra. The Ethiopian Church considers 4 Ezra to be canonical, written during the Babylonian captivity and it was also often cited by the Fathers of the Church. In the Eastern Armenian tradition it is called 3 Ezra and it is conjectured by Protestant scholars to have been written in the late 1st century CE following the destruction of the Second Temple. Among Greek Fathers of the Church,4 Ezra is generally cited as Προφήτης Ἔσδρας Prophetes Esdras or Ἀποκάλυψις Ἔσδρα Apokalupsis Esdra,4 Ezra consists of seven visions of Ezra the scribe. The first vision takes place as Ezra is still in Babylon and he asks God how Israel can be kept in misery if God is just. The archangel Uriel is sent to answer the question, responding that Gods ways cannot be understood by the human mind, soon, however, the end would come, and Gods justice would be made manifest. Similarly, in the vision, Ezra asks why Israel was delivered up to the Babylonians, and is again told that man cannot understand this. In the third vision Ezra asks why Israel does not possess the world, Uriel responds that the current state is a period of transition. Here follows a description of the fate of evil-doers and the righteous, Ezra asks whether the righteous may intercede for the unrighteous on Judgment Day, but is told that Judgment Day is final

Sennacherib
–
Sennacherib was the king of Assyria from 705 BCE to 681 BCE. He is principally remembered for his campaigns against Babylon and Judah. He was assassinated in obscure circumstances in 681 BCE, apparently by his eldest son, the primary preoccupation of his reign was the so-called Babylonian problem, the refusal of the Babylonians to accept Assyrian rule, culminating in his destruction of the city in 689 BCE. Further campaigns were carried out in Syria in the mountains east of Assyria, against the kingdoms of Anatolia and his death was welcomed in Babylon as divine punishment for the destruction of that city. He was also a builder, it was under him that Assyrian art reached its peak. Assyria began as a Bronze Age city-state or small kingdom on the middle-Tigris, the empires rise aroused the fear and hatred of its neighbours, notably Babylon, Elam and Egypt, and the many smaller kingdoms of the region such as Judah. Any perceived weakness on the part of Assyria led inevitably to rebellion, solving the so-called Babylonian problem was Sennacheribs primary preoccupation. Sennacheribs grandfather Tiglath-pileser III had made himself king of Babylon, creating a monarchy in which the Babylonians retained a nominal independence. This arrangement was never accepted by local leaders, particularly an important tribal chief named Marduk-apla-iddina. Marduk-apla-iddina paid tribute to Tiglath-pileser, but when Tiglath-pilesers successor Shalmaneser V was overthrown by Sargon II he seized the opportunity to crown himself king of Babylon, the next thirty years saw a repeating pattern of Assyrian reconquest and renewed rebellion. His relations, instead, were military, and culminated in his complete destruction of Babylon in 689 BCE. He destroyed the temples and the images of the gods, except for that of Marduk, the creator-god and divine patron of Babylon and this caused consternation in Assyria itself, where Babylon and its gods were held in high esteem. Sennacherib attempted to justify his actions to his own countrymen through a campaign of religious propaganda, in Babylon itself, Sennachribs answer to the Babylonian problem sparked an intense hatred that would eventually lead to a war for independence and the destruction of Assyria. Sennacherib was probably not the son of Sargon II, but he was groomed for royal succession. Sargon died in battle, and ancient sources give three different years for Sennacheribs first reign-year—705 BCE,704 BCE, and 703 BCE—suggesting that the succession was not smooth, Sennacheribs first campaign began late in 703 BCE against Marduk-apla-iddina, who had once more taken the throne of Babylon. The rebellion was defeated, Marduk-apla-iddina fled, and Babylon was taken, a puppet king named Bel-ibni was placed on the throne and for the next two years Babylon was left in peace. In 701 BCE, Sennacherib turned from Babylonia to the part of the empire. Ekron called on Egypt for help but the Egyptians were defeated, Sennacherib then turned on Jerusalem, Hezekiahs capital

Azazel
–
Azazel, also spelled Azazael, appears in the Bible in association with the scapegoat rite. In some traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam it is the name for a fallen angel, the next words are לַעֲזָאזֵל‎, read either as for absolute removal or as for Azazel. This goat was then cast out in the desert as part of Yom Kippur, despite the expectation of Brandt to date no evidence has surfaced of Azazel as a demon or god prior to the earliest Jewish sources among the Dead Sea Scrolls. In the Dead Sea Scrolls the name Azazel occurs in the line 6 of 4Q203, The Book of Giants, according to the Peshitta, Azazel is rendered Za-za-eil, as in Qumran fragment 4Q180. According to the Book of Enoch, Azazel was one of the chief Grigori, a group of fallen angels who married women. This same story is told in the book of Genesis 6, 2–4, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, Enoch portrays Azazel as responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways. God sees the sin brought about by Azazel and has Raphael “bind Azazel hand and foot and cast him into the darkness, and make an opening in the desert – which is in Dudael – and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there forever, daniel Stökl also observes that the punishment of the demon resembles the treatment of the goat in aspects of geography, action, time and purpose. Stökl remarks that the name of place of judgment is conspicuously similar in both traditions and can likely be traced to a common origin. Azazels fate is foretold near the end of Enoch 2,8, the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel, to him ascribe all sin. In the fifth-century 3 Enoch, Azazel is one of the three angels who opposed Enochs high rank when he became the angel Metatron, whilst they were fallen at this time they were still in Heaven, but Metatron held a dislike for them, and had them cast out. They were thenceforth known as the three who got the most blame for their involvement in the fall of the angels marrying women, the other angels dispersed to every corner of the Earth. In the extracanonical text the Apocalypse of Abraham, Azazel is portrayed as a bird who came down upon the sacrifice which Abraham prepared. The text also associates Azazel with the serpent and hell, in Chapter 23, verse 7, it is described as having seven heads,14 faces, hands and feet like a mans on his back six wings on the right and six on the left. Go, Azazel, into the parts of the earth. For your heritage is over those who are with you. Here there is the idea that Gods heritage is largely under the dominion of evil – i. e. it is shared with Azazel, again identifying him with Satan, who was called the prince of this world by Jesus

Although he had envisioned Supernatural as a movie, he spent years unsuccessfully pitching it as a series, Kripke wanted it to be a road trip series, feeling that it was the best vehicle to tell these stories because its pure, stripped down and uniquely American. These stories exist in small towns all across the country. As he had written for The WB series Tarzan, Kripke was offered the chance to pitch show ideas to the network. However, the network disliked his tabloid reporter idea, so Kripke successfully pitched his idea of the characters being brothers. He decided to have the brothers be from Lawrence, Kansas, because of its closeness to Stull Cemetery, when it came time to name the two lead characters, Kripke decided on Sal and Dean as an homage to Jack Kerouacs road-trip novel On the Road. However, he felt that Sal was inappropriate for a main character and it was originally intended for the brothers last name to be Harrison as a nod to actor Harrison Ford, as Kripke wanted Dean to have the devil-may-care swagger of Han Solo. However, there was a Sam Harrison living in Kansas, so the name had to be changed for legal reasons, combining his interest in the Winchester Mystery House and his desire to give the series the feel of a modern-day Western, Kripke settled on the surname of Winchester
